Rune Spaans

Norwegian director and screenwriter Rune Spaans has more than 20 years of experience in design, animation, and visual effects. He began his career as a video game artist in the mid-1990s and has since contributed animation and VFX to films and series such as Trollhunter (2010) and Love, Death & Robots (2021).

His directorial debut, the short film The Absence of Eddy Table, has screened at over 70 festivals and won multiple awards, including Best Animated Short at the Guanajuato Short Film Festival and Best International Film at the Interfilm Short Film Festival in Berlin. In 2019, he directed the feature film Two Buddies and a Badger 2 and is currently at work on his third feature film.

He is not particularly comfortable writing in the third person, but is professional enough to recognize how impressively serious it makes him sound.
